Post by: Neil C on August 01, 2013, 10:27:47 AM
updated thread

I reviewed around 50 lyrics to get to the selection and the voting was really close, so in ascending order here they are:

habiTat - Wrath and Benjo - Shakin both with 2 votes

Jess - Shirt and tie - 3 votes

SoulPunk - Suitcase of Photographs - 4 votes

and so the winner is

songsthatcry - the child - with 5 votes.

Congratulations to all and thanks for voting. And BooBoo has kindly accepted the challenge for this month so you have been warned.

Congrats, STC!!  :) :)

Although I'm one of the more lyrically illiterate members of this forum, I must say I was quite impressed by (and very jealous of ;D) each of the entries.
Well done, everybody!

I'm liking the song/lyric of the month thing, I think it keeps the forum moving and talking.

Hello  Michael ..

Although I'm one of the more lyrically illiterate members of this forum,

I was just like you a year ago .. started by writing few lines .. and the half  page .. then full page .. then .. it's what you hear since I joined this forum .. I remember leaving this forum after 4 English songs .. now I have almost 20 songs .. take that step  Michael .. go for it .. write something and break the handicap .. good luck man ..  :D :D :D :D

Cheers

Do lyrics have to be posted in the lyrics section in order to be considered for the lyric of the month comp. ??? ???  because there are some pretty good lyrics in the finished song section, that I think should be considered  :) :) just a thought ;D

Then they should be posted there as well......other wise its a lot of work for who ever does the judging.
